  79 tabs is a bit much

    I just permanently have a ∞ symbol on Firefox Android

      Why

      • isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Because I just close Firefox and move on to another app, I don’t see tabs like on the desktop version and they don’t close when the app closes, so they stay open perpetually until I close them manually.

      I have it set up to close any tabs that are 2 weeks old.

        Why don’t you just close them immediately?

  I’m guessing you’re not logged in. The landing page works, but the members area, where the full ratings are, will show the above screen when I’m on VPN.

      Interesting. I know sometimes certain VPNs work with Netflix while others get flagged as VPNs. I wonder if your provider just has some fresh IPs that haven’t been added to whatever block lists these companies use.

    You might be using an endpoint that people have used for attacks recently. I think all of the website protection tools have some sort of temporary IP blocking mechanism.
